“Who’s on first?”
“Polanco.”
“So Polanco’s a first baseman?”
“Not yet.”
“Who’s on third?”
“Bichette.”
“So Bichette’s a third baseman?”
“Not yet.”
“Who’s in right?”
“I dunno.”
“I dunno is a peculiar name for a ballplayer, even on the Mets.”

A helpful Mets fan dialogue designed to delineate who’s on first, who’s on third, who’s in left, who’s in right, and why only the first 15,000 are scheduled to get what is being handed out. www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2026/02/24/a...

Terrance Gore as a New York Met in 2022.
Mickey Lolich as a New York Met in 1976.
Terrance Gore was a Met for just over one month. Mickey Lolich was a Met for precisely one season. Two different ballplayers and two different contexts for thinking, “He’s not supposed to be here.” www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2026/02/12/t...

Shoutout to the 12.
With David Robertson joining Clayton Kershaw and Rich Hill in retirement or something like it, Max Scherzer looms as the final major leaguer to have played at Shea Stadium.
I wasn’t planning on this, but I now root for a team that features Bo Bichette, Luis Robert, Jr., Freddy Peralta, and, if his minor league deal amounts to anything, Craig Kimbrel. Fine. Great. Maybe wonderful. But I wasn’t planning on it. www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2026/01/28/i...

I'll sure miss [player Mets didn't keep], but I look forward to seeing what [player Mets acquired] can do.
Hidalgo’s Met moment was 2004, but another H-slugger, Hundley, indeed helped light up an otherwise dim 1996.
White Sox center fielders become Met center fielders every few decades and yield delightful results. Here’s hoping Luis Robert, Jr., maintains the pattern.
Beltran and Kent will be second pair of Mets inducted together, following Carter and Murray in 2003.

Good morning #MetsSky! Today's newsletter is out. I decided to look into how the #Mets deal with Yorvit Torrealba fell apart during the 2007-2008 offseason. I've joked that Torrealba always felt like a quintessential "Almost A Met" to me.

I may be old enough to know better than to fall in love with the next fledgling youth movement, but I’m also old enough to know it’s not much fun getting older without a few Met futures to anticipate. www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2025/12/31/t...
